The past century has seen the dominance of fossil fuels as the chief source of energy for the sustenance of the global economic machinery. Among the various fossil fuels available, crude oil is one commodity that has controlled almost all the aspects of the energy business. Crude oil is a mixture of compounds composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen in varying proportions, along with inorganic compounds such as nitrogen, sulfur, and metals like vanadium and mercury. Crude oil is found in specific rock formations, known as reservoirs, in the earth's crust. The depth at which these reservoirs occur can vary significantly, from pools that flow up to the surface to the ones that are nearly 15,000 meters underground. The method employed to gain access to these reservoirs of black gold is through drilling the surface till the predefined depth is reached.
